I'll be 3 weeks tomorrow from having surgery. Still on a liquid diet till Friday. Taking in less than 500 calories and 90 protein. Been at at a stall for five days.
1st day same weight, 2nd up a 1/2 lb., 3rd up a 1/2 lb., 4th down 1/2 lb., and now back up 1/2 again today. Extremely frustrating.
Any suggestions or is this normal
Thanks!!

    It's normal.

    You are not going to keep losing like you did the first few weeks post-op.

    Not gonna happen.

    If the scale drives you nuts, weigh once a week or once a month.

    Normal. Have someone hide your scale. Seriously, it will drive you nuts.

    Weight fluctuates. For everyone. I would not consider 1/2 lb as weight gain. Now if you were just going up and up and up then I would worry. I know when my weight was stalling I had to eat more calories and protein. Just a thought.

    As soon as I start eating on Friday I'll try to start getting more calories. And I'll wait a week before I weigh. Thanks everyone!
